Obsession [Shadow Sonnet]

by Pete   Nov 27, 2007


You are the one for me, always been you
Yet you do not return these feelings ... yet.
True love could exist, I tell you it's true
Get caught up in lust; I'll get what I get.

Heart full of promise to share with your heart
Say what it is that you want me to say
Part of me already knows the best part
Pray that you love me is all that I pray

Fate brought me to you, thank goodness for fate
Crushed you for so long that my hearts now crushed
Wait for the day that I no longer wait
Push me away with one almighty push

Die to hold you, in your arms I could die
Try to love me; could you give "us" a try?

*Shadow Sonnet- The Shadow Sonnet may be written in any sonnet style. The Shadow takes place at the beginning and ending of each line as the words are identical or homophonic. Should be 14 lines, 9 or 10 syllables per line. The poem should have a volta or pivit.*
